“Winning means some kind of approval of the Establishment which means people will more readily accept me, may be less frightened of me and other people who speak out.”

My life is a stairway to heaven, not a ‘decline into decrepitude.

Eat only when you are hungry-not because it is one o’clock or seven o’clock or whatever.

Enjoyable does not necessarily mean easy.

I think the Internet and technology in general has changed everything. We can see it overseas even more with the Arab Spring and so forth.

The more you treat yourself positively, the less you’ll want or need to be negative.

If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist. I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism.

I’m an assistant storyteller. It’s like being a waiter or a gas-station attendant, but I’m waiting on six million people a week, if I’m lucky.

We’re not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.

I was in my mid-40s. I was a bulimic, and I realized if I continue with this addiction of mine, I will not be able to continue doing my life. The older you get the more damage it does; it takes longer to recover from a binge. And it was very hard.

I want to win four or five championship rings. That’s how I dream. I dream big.

At the end of the day, it’s hard to win against the NFL. It’s a billion-dollar business, it’s hard to win against it.

To be able to have that self-respect for yourself and just that feeling of, OK.

I want to help my team get to the playoffs, win, and run wild.

It is my aim to win the american people over to our side.

I know I have plenty of enemies.

Today I fell asleep reading a book. The book is called INSOMNIA. I win.
